Political Science Endowment Fund

The Department of Political Science can further its goals through the valuable support provided by this fund.

The Political Science Endowment Fund provides steady support for the University at Buffalo’s Department of Political Science.

Established by Dr. Richard H. Cox and Professor Emeritus Robert H. Stern, the fund offers financial support for the authorized activities of the political science department, under the direction of the chair of the department.

The UB Department of Political Science is a tight-knit, research-oriented and collegial community, offering students the exceptional opportunity to work closely with world-class faculty and gain hands-on experience in a globally significant discipline. The award-winning Political Science faculty boast extensive records of producing high-impact, theoretically and methodologically rigorous research. Our faculty have authored or co-authored dozens of books while publishing many more edited, text or reference books, book chapters and articles in scholarly journals (including many journals ranked among the top 25 in the discipline).

At the College of Arts and Sciences, our students see opportunity around every corner. Our faculty have the expertise to overcome virtually any obstacle. Now, all we need is your support to help us turn our extraordinary potential into unparalleled achievement. We ask you to join us in creating a better, brighter future for the college and communities around the world. And we ask you, just as we ask ourselves and our students: What problem will you help solve today?
